44 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Goleta

“Great people..nice beer 🍺“

“Knowledgeable staff, freshest fish, affordable prices. The location is also fun!“

“We are proud members of Samsara and love it so much! It’s fun that they have tasting rooms both here at home in Goleta and also in Los Olivos if we want to take a little jaunt into the valley. The wine is exceptional, especially the pinots. The folks at Samsara are such lovely people - Julie, Jack and Genevieve are especially kind and we love seeing them! The programming at the Goleta location is great (bands come to play, etc). Plus, there is a woman at the LO location who brings her guitar and plays/sings! What’s not to love about a free concert?!

The value is incredible. We have gifted membership to our parents in NYC and they also loved it.

Oh, and they’re super dog friendly! Our dog Pismo loves to hang out there, and everyone is so kind about his antics.“

“Hi thank you so much so much“

“Great food didn’t expect to get such good food out here, I’m from Los Angeles doing a show out here and was hesitant to eat here but it was the best decision ever.“

“I can't even say I have a favorite. It's all good. When you bring home a warm loaf, all is well with the world.“

“Everybody loves a raspberry filled donut, when it’s the real thing inside! Anna’s Bakery is the place to get the real thing.“

“As a member of The Art The Art Farmers band, I wanted to thank you for having us play music on your outdoor stage. The beer, food and live music make for a great Sunday afternoon. The audience was really good too… I think we will be getting new fans in the SB area.“

“Had a great time catching up with friends!“

“Great place to stop, relax and have a bite to eat. Enjoy 😎“

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.“

“I had salmon for lunch and my partner had chicken tacos. the food is fresh, delicious & healthy and the service is excellent. Only issue is that at least one outdoor table is wobbly. As much as the staff tried to straighten it, the problem seems to be with the table itself. It may need replacing?“

“Good food, great service and very dog friendly! We sat and had breakfast with our puppy on the patio. They had dog water bowls with ice in it and there’s plenty of patio space for a dog to lay down next to your table. The beignets were great and super fluffy, highly recommend! The yogurt parfait was great and someone else in my party loved the catfish. Another member of my party found the scrambles to be a little lacking in seasoning, but overall i’d say the food was good. The service was incredibly fast and very friendly. This place is overall very good, check it out!“

“Your local quality Beer Hall 5 stars!“

“Not a super big fan of beer so didn’t have many choices. However, I have many friends who enjoy the drinks here. I tried the Michelada and it was NOT good. They do have a great Mexican food truck that we love! They have vegan options which is a plus! Monday trivia is really fun!“

“Love this place, the staff is nice, so well as all of the regulars, as this is a locals spot. The food and drinks are great as well.“

“What a genuinely AMAZING experience. The service was top notch, timely, welcoming and HOLY COW was the food good. We had the D-Dawg, slice of Hawaiian, and a slice of Combo pizza. Great portion size, plenty of toppings, and all freshly made. Plus they're open late for those late-night cravings. Definitely give them a go! 10/10“

“Decided to stop into Crushcakes for just coffee and ended up purchasing 30 assorted cupcakes for a party! The cupcakes were extremely popular and made the birthday special.

Thank you Ash for the recommendations. Will definitely be returning.“

“This place is awesome. All the Dune's are awesome really. Can't go wrong at any of them. In my experience, this Dune has the most "interpersonal" customer service. For example, they have consistently asked about my day, etc., or made small talk that goes a bit beyond the basic kindness you'd get at any of the other Dune's. Basic kindness, as in, they are really friendly there, either way, during your transaction, but this Dune seems to do a little extra with customer interactions. The coffee (what I usually order; e.g. lattes) are excellent.“

“Great service and reasonable prices. The food was fantastic!!“

“My husband got the large size dragon (pitaya) bowl and we were pleasantly surprised at how large it was. I got the 3 berry oatmeal bowl and it was very tasty and filling. We both subbed honey for agave with no problem. Will definitely be going back!“

“Always a delight! Went last minute after driving all day, seated at the bar with Thiago and had a amazing meal and beautiful drinks. I have nightshade allergies and I was still able to get the Salmon on ceder with tons of flavor! Thank you for always taking care of us!“

“Great coffee and a fun venue.“

“Iced, oat milk matcha is delicious! And the goats on Date sourdough toast hits the spot! Sweet and savory with just the right about of kick.“

“We were from out of town and craved fajitas. We saw the reviews and decided to try it. The fajitas were delicious, the beans and rice were yummy and don’t forget the delicious homemade tortillas. It reminded me of my mom‘s home-cooked meals growing up. The owners were very friendly. This will be a definite stop when we come up again.“

“Who can go wrong with Kyle?“

“Timbers Roadhouse is my go to in Goleta. I do love a Captain Fatty.“

“Elubia’s Kitchen is a great, authentic Guatemalan spot in Isla Vista. It’s truly a hidden gem. I had the pupusas and they were excellent. Fresh and served the right way with incredible salsa.
They also have really good combo options. You can tell the food is made with care and tradition. I will definitely be ordering some of their pickup catering options next time we have a big gathering at home - the prices are very reasonable.
The best part is the family behind it. They are genuinely kind people, and that comes through in the experience. Elubia has created something truly amazing! Definitely worth stopping by.“

“Local dive bar vibe that I always have a good time at.

Servers are friendly and they get the drinks out fast.

Bar tables, dim lighting, music, darts, and decent sticks.

Check them out when in the area.“

“I had the green tea ice cream and it was awesome! :)“

“I ordered a dirty chai and it took about 15 minutes to get. There were only a handfiul of customers in the coffee shop and 3 baristas behind the counter preparing orders. There were several people that ordered after me that got their drinks before me. Lame.“

“Great food here for a reasonable price. Portions are great sized.“

“Busiest donut shop in the world ..full of college kids. I mean packed but very quiet. Very well behaved..to the owner probably best quality donuts ive ever tasted ! Not doughy and rubbery or greasy ..bursting with flavor ! I had the raised top shelf and the banana cream pie. Ate it the next afternoon. Tasted like just made unreal Flavor !!“

“Such a chill place to get coffee (best in town) and work. Amazing food and even more amazing people ❤️“

“They catered my granddaughters graduation dinner and they were excellent. Food was perfectly seasoned and cooked, portions were generous and they fed a group of over 60 guests just fine, my favorites were their Tri tip and salsas. We will use them again!“

“Who can go wrong with Kyle?“

“This place is probably the healthiest spot to eat in Isla Vista & it’s bomb! Consistently craving it. The drinks are great too. Good quality food and lots of flavor - it’s basically a Mediterranean chipotle. The Moroccan hot sauce is HOT but delish. They just lowered their prices too. So worth“

“Just had my first visit to Masala Spice Indian cuisine on Calle Real in Goleta. We received a warm and courteous greeting upon entering the beautifully decorated (and very clean) restaurant, replete with Indian wood carvings and dreamy landscape videos accompanied by contemporary Indian music. Service was very attentive and friendly.
We opted for the buffet, which certainly did not disappoint! There was tremendous variety: the Dal was simply the best I have ever had, with perfect spicing and texture. The vegetable Kurma was luscious, as was their version of Chicken Tikka Masala. There is a wide variety of offerings on the buffet, with many vegetarian options. Some very fresh and light Naan bread is included with the buffet. I also ordered a refreshing cold Mango Lassi which, like everything else, tasted very fresh and homemade. After experiencing the buffet lunch, I can't wait to come back and order other things off their exciting looking menu!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“The only decent boba in the SB / Goleta area. Only problem is its a little inconsistent but even with the inconsistency it is still better than other places around the area. The popcorn chicken is usually really good too though it can also be inconsistent with sometimes not enough seasoning or they leave out the fried basil. Overall still pretty good and have been here many times and definitely worth visiting!“

“We live in the neighborhood closest to this Lighthouse location and the baristas here are just the best. I bring my kids and dog all the time to have breakfast on the patio and they are so sweet. The cucumber toast and breakfast sandwiches are excellent and my young kids get to practice putting their order in by themselves with patient, kind baristas.“

“Despite my last not so great visit in March I stopped in with some friends to give it another try. Food was fresh and delicious, service was fantastic. Happy surprise after the horrible service in March! Thank you!“

“It was a very good experience, the only thing that I would comment on other than outstanding was that we were seated way over in the back, I would have liked it if they had asked where we would like to sit, rather than just put us in the back, the restaurant was not terribly crowded. Otherwise outstanding“

“The food was very fresh and tasty! I had the sushi sandwich. I’ve never had anything like it but I was impressed! I’d definitely recommend it! Especially if you like tempura I think you’d really enjoy it. Short wait to order, easy menu and great specials every day. So refreshing that I’m able to afford some good sushi in this town!“
